The Recession

I am so tired of hearing people say “with the economy the way it is…” or some variation of that phrase. There is always an economy. We are in a recession, not an economy. We have been a recession for a year. It’s like people are afraid to say that. It might be a little scary, but there are a lot of worse things – look at all the things our country did after the great depression…and we’re not even in s depression! I hear “with the economy” or “in this economy” so many times a day and it’s getting on my nerves. There is always an economy. This is a recession. Call it what it is.
